What is web scraping if not gathering information from around the world? As long as you're not distributing copyrighted content (and the models in question here don't, btw), then fair use is at play. I'm not plagiarizing the news by reading it or by talking about what I learned, but I would be if I just copy/pasted my response from the article.

Reading publicly available data isn't a copyright violation, and it certainly isn't a violation of fair use. If it were, then you just plagiarized my comment by reading it before you responded.
